But how did these politics first emerge? And what do they offer activists today, who seek to transform capitalist society at its very foundations?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eMaoism and the Chinese Revolution\u003c\/em\u003e offers the novice reader a sweeping overview of five decades of Maoist revolutionary history. It covers the early years of the Chinese Communist Party, through decades of guerrilla warfare and rapid industrialization, to the massive upheavals of the Cultural Revolution. It traces the development of Mao Zedong's military and political strategy, philosophy, and statecraft amid the growing contradictions of the Chinese revolutionary project. All the while, it maintains a perspective sympathetic to the everyday workers and peasants who lived under the party regime, and who in some moments stood poised to make the revolution anew.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFrom the ongoing \"people's wars\" in the Global South, to the radical lineages of many black, Latino, and Asian revolutionaries in the Global North, Maoist politics continue to resonate today.
